I keep telling people this, but they don't understand. Tasers HURT. I have been hit with tasers several times in training, and tasers are quite literally torture devices.

The problem is that the stigma of 'Nonlethal weapons' has given Police officers the freedom to use these torture weapons at will and with little to no accountability, and this is a freedom many of them have abused.

Welp, someone has WAY too much time on their hands and, of course, a webcam...

is Iron Man really as far into fiction as we think it is?

Umm...okay, another startling bit of reality intrudes itself into our perceptions
please watch this movie... it's kinda boring, but it has a lot of interesting facts bound up into it
It's called 'Zeitgeist'

and yah, I know a lot of people are going to think it's a lot of tinfoil hat stuff, but so far all of the research I have done on them proved out to be true.

Welp. Here I am again, staggering from another psychofiscal blow from my ex.

Somehow, the law in the united states has been altered. Instead of divorce proceedings being 'a fair division of family proceeds' they have become nothing more than an arena for allowing a woman to destroy a guy's life. She can abuse him physically and emotionally, divorce him (no fault really means no warning) And enslave him for the rest of his life for a decision he never made.

Friday evening. We have been struggling with an absolutely irritating problem for the last 4 months of getting upstream packet dropping on our cablemodem. after 4 technicians (all of whom assumed they had 'fixed the problem') I have been doing a bit of research, checking SNA and upstream currents and finally isolated the problem of being the cable from the house to the junction... kids (and roommates) have been abusing that line for years, shooting it with BB guns, hanging laundry or hitting it with horseshoes (The big heavy iron kind)

Apparenlty some people think they need to get to young people. I am pretty sure this is baloney, but it's funny anyway.

I can't say much about it, I will let the video speak for itself. Just remember this is will wright, the Midas of the computer gaming industry.

In the last 40 years Space Travel has grown more and more distant and less important to most of the human race. "Yes, it's a great idea" most investors would claim, "But it's too expensive" and the dreams of people like me, who have been reading SF and fantasy since they were kids, were dashed on the rocks of reality by the true mother of invention, profit.
However, despite the recent success of private enterprise in attaining orbits that, while not quite 'in space' are certainly landmarks on the way, the spectre of financial feasability has always been there, threatening to take it's scythe to the whole concept of leaving the planet that we, as a race, are turning into a poisoned womb unliveable by any species.
